The Rockefeller University's Summer Science Outreach Program provides highly-motivated 7th-12th grade science teachers an opportunity to experience mentored laboratory research. Participants are matched with scientists who guide teachers through the process of doing original research. In addition, teachers work with scientists and educators to translate their research experience into hands-on laboratory activities for their students. The seven-week program begins June 27th and ends August 12th, 2011 on the campus of The Rockefeller University in Manhattan.
